Mazmur 119:79

119:79 May your loyal followers ¹  turn to me,

those who know your rules.

Mazmur 119:115

119:115 Turn away from me, you evil men,

so that I can observe ²  the commands of my God. ³ 

[119:79]  ¹ tn Heb “those who fear you.”

[119:115]  ² tn The cohortative verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the preceding imperative.

[119:115]  ³ tn The psalmist has already declared that he observes God’s commands despite persecution, so here the idea must be “so that I might observe the commands of my God unhindered by threats.”
